No, I don't know whether 'it' has ever worked before or not. Whatever the 'it/compositing' might be over XDMCP. What I do know is the error about the composite manager crash is the first one I have ever seen before. I've run compiz for a while and xdmcp as well and ever since the 0.5.x days I've never seen this error before, that's why I thought it was so strange. I do have another piece of the puzzle though. I installed Arch on my laptop where I can't get compiz to work due to the (omitting curse words) ATI driver fiasco and Arch not having a fglrx driver. My laptop is using the OSS 'radeon' driver which is OK to look at, but no compiz. So while writing this email, I decided to test the XDMCP connection to the original i686 box that caused the error and ... I was able to connect without any error from my laptop currently running on the radeon driver. I have 2 hard drives for my laptop. The other drive has the openSuSE 11.0 install on it that I was using when the error occurred. I'll reinstall it and enable the crashhandler and see if I can catch anything and report back. Strange error indeed. At least with the test tonight we have narrowed it down to something on the openSuSE 11.0 install on my laptop ;-) -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

See: > > http://www.3111skyline.com/download/Archlinux/bugs/ksplash-compositing-crash.i686.png That looks like the KWin compositor crashing or not starting - I've never seen that error message in KDE with compiz. My guess is that Composite is not supported over XDMCP. Are you sure it worked before with previous compiz versions? If you can, enable the crashhandler plugin and provide us with a backtrace with one of it's logs.

[compiz] Compositing Manager Crash over XDMCP on .8.2.1 on Archlinux?
Danny, Kristian, All, First let me tell you guys whatever you are doing with compiz, keep it up! It's looking great! I have a new error on ArchLinux when running compiz 0.8.2.1 that I have never seen before. I installed Archlinux on 2 boxes to check it out. One on a x86_64 box with the nvidia driver (no problems there) and one on an i686 box with onboard intel video. When connecting over XDMCP to the x86_64 box, there is no problem at all (I haven't tried compiz or compositing over xdmcp, but I get no error). On the i686 box, same setup, I get an error that says "Compositing Manger Crashed twice in... seconds disabling.." See: http://www.3111skyline.com/download/Archlinux/bugs/ksplash-compositing-crash.i686.png I'm just guessing, but the only thought I had was it must be something related to Nomad, so I thought I would pass it along and offer to run any additional tests, etc.. that you guys might want to see off the Arch box in case it would help. Let me know, Thanks. P.S. Hope some of the ripples in the compiz pond have settled. Growth is always difficult, but you guys have a great thing going here, keep the faith! -- David C.
